Huge bump for Switch, I pity the Xbox though, I think we may see a new one in a year or so. 

 

 

You don’t honestly believe MS will release their next console only two years after the last one?

 

 

They released an upgraded version of their existing platform, same as PS4 Pro. And, yes, I do think that that's entirely possible if they keep getting their ass handed to them in weekly sales and keep lacking exclusive heavy hitters. Nintendo released the Wii U before the competition when Wii sales tanked, even coming from a market leading position and still showing somewhat good sales of 1st party software. They also had the handheld division to lean on during rougher weather, a luxury not afforded to the MS gaming division.

There's no sense in letting the Xbox brand become more and more obscure by letting it slide the way it's doing right now. They usurped Sony once by beating them to the market with the 360, and it netted them great sales and broad support, despite immense troubles with hardware failures. There is more than a little merit to my sentiment from an objective standpoint, they sold under 200k in the middle of November, that's pretty close to disastrous and 50% down on last year for the same week.
